Yes, Apostle Safo , like most of biblical heroes, and redeemers came from a poor home. Circumstances surrounding his childhood and youth were a barrage of fighting for survival. And he survived and has become a distinguished figure with a fierce creative and imaginative faculty. His heroic success in business illustrate the fact which great historians have always recognised, that mankind does not regularly progress by invisible steps but sometimes takes a giant leap often under dynamic force of a solitary outsized personality. It was neither by magic nor by miracle. Poverty threatened the survival of his early mission but he never gave up. He sold palm kernel oil at Obuasi with his close associate and a renowned evangelist Kofi Sammy. He went into soap called (don't touch me) production at Kensere near Bekwai. Apostle with his early converts will carry the soap in pans on their heads and sell it in Kumasi. The congregation grew bigger and many branches were formed across the country. Now the number seems to be what he needed to leap frog poverty and make history for the rest of his life. He founded the GREAT KOSA conglomerate and has invested in many businesses:
Great Kosa Group
MISSION OF AGRICULTURE: Kristo Asafo is also renowned for its agricultural activities. Aposple's works inspire Ghanaians and Africans; they give hope to a continent which seems to have lost all hopes amidst radical global trend in technological advancement. As a true statesman and a wonderful architect of a positive social change, Apostle launched and led an intensive agricultural revolution in his church when in 1983 Ghana experienced the most intensive and prolonged drought in remembered history with ravages of wild fires that swept through the entire country. He set up farms in Asante Akyem Agogo, Gomoa Domenase, Odembo, Okyereko, Kasoa, Poano and in many other farming communities in the country. Several tones of food crops are cultivated every year to date. Apostle Safo, who steers the affairs of Kristo Asafo ( Christ Reformed Church) with an estimated 10,000 members wonders why Africa still remains poor and continues to be a continental beggar irrespective of all the natural resources and human talents that God has given to us.

When Apostle was about to settle at Gomoa Odembo in the Central Region of Ghana, the village had persistent water problem during the dry season. His aim was to make the place a safe haven so that he could live a legacy for ages. He dug a well to provide water for himself and the villagers all year round. Realizing that the well could not provide sufficient water during the dry season, Apostle went ahead to construct a dam which could harvest all the rain water during the rainy season into the reservoir so that water will be available in the dry season all year round. As the water level increases over times, the dam overflow its banks and became a great lake which never dried up till today. He stuffed the lake with variety of fish species and today fishing has become part of the livelihood of the inhabitants of Odembo in the Central Region of Ghana.
Apostle's Technological Dynamics
Since the nature of technology is dynamic its meaning has become vague. This has left a big room for misconceptions which sometimes lead to questionable conclusions as to what technology's definition should be. For most of human history, technology was mainly the province of craftmen who passed their knowledge down from generation to generation; gradually improving designs and adding new techniques and materials. Today, technology has become a large scale enterprise that depended on a large stores of know-how that has become too large for one society to master.
For Apostle Safo, technology is the evolution of ideas. He sees before him an opportunity to improve a process, to create a device or object that will facilitate, improves or aid something or someone else. He has a unique inspiration and remit his creativity and notion to express his ideas into something real and tangible. Like every human being, he was gifted with a sizeable brain and favourable thumbs which afford him a near unique ability to make real the innovations that he imagines.
Technology has changed the social system of humans and their behavioral patterns. Today, the rapidness of research and development has become so impressive that it has created a lot of shortcuts in working and makes work easy. It has created worth for individuals and nations. Modern technology has come to represent the means by which people seek to transform their culture and advance to modernity. Africa and for that matter our traditional cultures have embraced them into our world-view. We have adopted the products of western technology both into our way of life as well as our mode of thought. So why are we reluctant to contribute to it?
At Gomoa Mpota in the Central region of Ghana, Great Kosa Suaye Technology Centre has embarked on a lot of technological innovations. Call it engineering or re-engineering, designing or redesigning, invention or re-invention, there s still enough reason to buttress this course. The Centre has the following departments: Electrical and Electronic, Foundry and Pattern, Plant Medicine, Building and Construction, Mechanical and Automobile, Transmission.

Great Imperial Manufacturing Department
The Company was established in 2010 at Tema , Greater Accra to start Nickel Chrome Electroplating. Chrome, the slang for chromium is the naturally occurring chemical elements. Chrome is a metal but it is not useful as a solid pure substance. Things are never made of chrome. Chroming in actual sense adds beauty to steel and occasionally aluminium, brass, plastic or stainless steel. Chrome plating offers exceptional hardness, wear resistance and oil-holding but limited corrosion resistance. Chroming give automotive bright works on bumpers, alloyed rims etc. And when it is NICKEL, you are assured of extra corrosion resistance and that is exactly what the Company is doing. Tied with Free Zones Board as a single unit, Great Imperial Manufacturing Company Limited manufactures high quality nails of 1", 11/2", 2", 21/2" 3" and 4" for export and for the local market.
KRISTO ASAFO FARMS
Apostle Safo actively doing the clearing himself top and bottom. Each congregation has a farm where youth volunteer and go through a regimented period of training and farming.
Harvesting time - the maize is preserved using local preservative means. This creates employment opportunities on farms for members and is seen as stemming the drift from rural farming communities to the urban towns.
Africa's tropical forest is one of the most fertile vegetations that nature has bestowed on us. We could export food to other parts of the world if we pursue good agricultural policies.
Apostle Safo has also invested in animal husbandry and has different breeds of cattle and sheep in a number of ranches. He has an experimental breeding houses for snails, ostrich, turtles, guinea fowls etc.
“I am endowed with supernatural powers to help this continent. The only way to disenthrall Africa is through technology not prayers.Emeritus Apostle Dr Ing. Kwadwo Safo”
FORESTRY
With afforestation, Apostle Safo converted 60 - hectare grassland into a tropical by transplanting variety of trees from the forest zone and replanted them on the bare land at Odembo. This could be done nationwide to turn the fast approaching savannah into rain forest.

Plant Medicine
The Plant Medicine Research was setup in 2005 with the following objectives:
To research into some common plants and their efficacy in the treatment of common diseases like malaria, typhoid, skin and hair disorders.To research into the preparation of natural plant materials into effective drugs for the treatment of diseases.To look into the processing and packaging of the preparations into various drug administration forms (pills, syrups, injections, infusions, tea bags etc). To carry out safety trials on animals (rabbits and frogs) look into dosages and duration of treatments of the preparation. To perform corresponding human trials for the preparations through modern medical laboratory procedures and techniques.
Apostle Safo's vision in this area is to change the face of plant medicine, make it more attractive and acceptable in the country and introduce the administration of herbal preparations via infusions and injections.
With regards to the numerical boost in animal breeding, the division hopes to extend the trials to larger animals like sheep , goats and cattle. The number of trial animals (rabbits) has increased from an initial number of 4 to 150 in 9 months. Plant materials known to possess medicinal values are carefully selected from various parts of the country.These included: Leaves, Stem and root bark, Fruits and seeds.The materials are then washed appropriately to rid them off any dirt and soil materials.
The materials are then usually taken through size reduction procedures including cutting, blending, pounding or mashing. The active medicinal ingredients in the materials are then extracted using series of scientific processes.The medicinal effects of the extracts are usually enhanced by the addition of other herbs or further processing.
The extracts are then processed into various administration forms like pills, capsules, tea bags, injections and infusions. Samples of the preparations are packaged and stored to ascertain their shelf lives. The extracts so prepared are taken through safety tests by administering them to trial animals like frogs and rabbit. This is done through oral administration or where necessary it is ultra filtered and injected or given by infusion. The administration is done at regular intervals and at different rates for groups of the animals over a period of time and is carefully monitored and observe.
After obtaining satisfactory results from the animal trial, the preparations are then taken through human trials. Persons suspected to have particular conditions ate tested by qualified medical laboratory to confirm the presence of the said condition and its degree.
They are then given the preparations at regular intervals and periodic laboratory reports obtained to check any changes in the occurrence of the condition and any other physiological changes that might occur in the patients. In the case of skin and hair disorders, regular applications of the preparations are made on the affected parts and critical observations made regularly to check any improvements or otherwise.
BREAKTHROUGHS
An effective malaria prepared through fermented of materials from the neem plant and other herbs. This has been successfully used to treat malaria within 3 days of administration. Typhoid fever prepared from selected materials from the neem and cassia plant. It has been used to effectively manage typhoid fever in less than a week of its administration.
Neem seed oil extracted from the seed of the neem plant has been effectively used in the treatment and management of cough. The oil has also been used, in addition to other plant materials, to manage various skin and hair disorders. Animal breeding prepared from careful fermentation of neem leaves and extracts from lime and sugar cane. The preparation was given to a male and female rabbit through infusion over a period of 4 weeks. A cross of such treated parents yielded up to 16 bunnies, a deviation from the 4 or five bunnies usually seen in normal rabbits.
Foundry And Pattern Department
Foundry the act of melting metals and pouring it into cavities or moulds and allowing it to cool is one of the most important basis of mechanical engineering. When Apostle decided to go into automobile the need had risen for him to be able to manufacture some machine parts. He established the Foundry division to take care of the new challenges. Various machine parts, valves and their valve covers, and engine blocks are moulded and taken to the machine shop for precision tooling.
Electrical And Electronic Department
Apostle Safo started on a small note. He had made good acquaintances with the fundamental bodies of knowledge and ideas, and had also contemplated the implications of the technical and emotional contents of all these department. It was like he was digging a well in the city of crabs, and he definitely will find water. Knowing where he is coming from and where he is going to land, he started with the Electrical division in 1989 and manufactured musical instruments. Then he quickly moved to electrical.
The Electrical department was initially researching into the manufacture of transformers for use on the appliances manufactured by the already established Electronics Division. It started manufacturing several related products such as Stabilizers, Universal Power Surge,
Televisions, Induction Motors, Generators, Solar Panels, Electronic Bill Boards, Incubators, Lighting Systems and Advertising Bill Boards. Air-Condition. This is a Kantanka 5000W power stabilizer already on the market for sale.
As the segmentation of the product increases, the department was divided into sections and were tasked to specialize in the areas of Electrical Machinery (Plant), Protection and Control, Installation and Air-condition. They were to: Research on ideas and concepts of innovations, Manufacture and development of electrical products, perform industrial and domestic installation. Perform Industrial and domestic installation, Do panel configuration and instrumentation, To attend to all electrical needs of the KOSA conglomerate such as maintenance, troubleshooting and reparation of faults, installation of equipment, organization and administration of safety programs.
his was the foundation of Apostles's fundamental concepts which was aimed at breaking through modern electrical and electronic conventions and come out with products that can interface with remote human senses of feel and touch.
Kantanka Military Innovations
Eyeing On Aviation
Apostle has seen prospects in the Aviation Industry and this should be his next line of investment. He is not only going into flying passengers and cargo across countries and continents, a lot more will be done. Having already trained two pilots, he is about ready for the take off.
